| SUMMARY | |
| Location: |
Angeles National Forest, north of Los Angeles, California |
| Put-in: |
Falls below the main Switzer Falls (2830'). |
| Gradients: |
The gradient on this 0.6 mile segment was about 350 fpm. |
| Take-out: |
Confluence with Bear Creek (2600') |
| NOTES | |
 La Niña |
The flow this day (2.4 on the USGS Arroyo Seco gage) was too low to do the run to JPL, so we opted to run the outrageous tiered drop below Switzer Falls and probe the stream down to Bear Creek. The first drop, El Niño, is a slide into about a 7-8’ vertical drop with problems caused by a headwall. The second drop, La Niña, is a 20 ft., or so, waterfall. The total vertical on the two drops is about 35 ft. |
